Time + Mind
A solo founder wears every hat — Strategy, Production, Finance, Compliance, Technology — and runs the full Customer Journey. Productive CEOs theme their day around one hat to stop context-switching. Time+Mind closes the gap between WHICH hat to wear (driven by where the customer journey is weakest) and WHETHER you actually wore it.
Why should I care?
Five cards that sell the dream
Same five positions. Different seat.
The customer sees the dream. The builder sees the process. The DREAM layer is the plan. The REALITY layer is the proof. Both are the same loop — Time+Mind makes it visible.
How does this get built?
Five cards that sell the process
The pitch is the shape. The flow diagrams prove the thinking. The VV stories validate the value.
Problem
A solo founder wears every business hat but has no system for theming their time. Context-switching between Strategy, Production, Finance, Compliance, and Technology costs 30-60 min daily and fragments deep work. Productive CEOs theme their day around one role — solo founders jump between all five.
A dual-layer calendar where the DREAM layer themes time blocks by business hat (driven by customer journey gaps) and the REALITY layer captures what actually happened. The evening prime asks: where are my customers stuck? The morning shows: here's your hat, here's your context.
S0 components built but not wired to product page. CLI has no time-mind subcommand. Human uses web, agent uses CLI — both paths must work.
If reality capture requires self-report, it will fail at week 3. The system must infer reality from plan-cli + commit timestamps.

Relationships
| PRD | Contributes |
|---|---|
| Agent Platform | Agent identity + dispatch + session boot (Phase 0). Morning Agent depends on this. |
| Prompt Deck | Fractal pair: Time+Mind = WHEN to wear which hat. Prompt Deck = WHAT to hold in mind while wearing it. Same five positions (Customer Journey = Tight Five), different instrument. |
| Project Management | Plan-cli provides task timestamps that feed reality capture. |
If the user stops returning for Sunday planning after week 3, the instrument is a chore, not a tool. If alignment score doesn't trend up over 4 weeks, seeing the gap doesn't change behavior. Kill date: 2026-06-24.
Questions
If the system could eliminate the 3 morning decisions, what would you do with the 45 minutes you'd get back?
- What's the difference between a tool that shows you the gap and a system that prevents the gap from forming?
- If reality is captured from timestamps, what does that reveal about the weeks where plan-cli shows no advancement?
- Which archetype does your actual work pattern reveal — and is it the one your role requires?
- When the Flow Guard tells you you've drifted, what's the cost of ignoring it vs the cost of switching?
